Dawson County got a taste of fall and an answer to their questions on May 17 when the Tigers defeated Pickens County by a score of 16-10 in the 2019 spring football game in Tiger Stadium. The annual scrimmage celebrates the end of two weeks of tryouts and is the first glimpse that both fans and coaches will have of the team at full speed until the end of summer. The Tigers are entering a rebuilding year after graduating 28 seniors from last year’s roster. The loss extended across both sides of the ball and included the offensive and defensive line, the team’s top two scorers, the team leader in sacks and the team leader in tackles. A stout Tiger defense took to the field in the first half and quickly put to rest any doubts about their ability to follow in the footsteps of last year’s top-10 unit as they held the Dragons scoreless through two quarters of play.
